So, what's opinion on this patch, after all?

I think the part about better reporting 'target remote' seen no objections,
OK to commit that?

Speaking of gdb PATH, I've noticed that the very last line of dejagnu output
contains the full path to gdb -- apparently I used 'Ctrl-C' too much.

Anyway, I think getting this information into log file is still desirable,
and it makes sure that .log file is sufficient to reproduce a test
failures -- console output might be no longer handy.
